Smoltz is back but we aren't sure if he's 100%. Everyone root for sideshow, he is playing tomahawk chop in a dorm full of Cub fans. Go BRAVES !!!

I care. Postseason baseball, low-scoring pitching duels, this is what it's all about. Also how about these young Marlins and Josh Beckett facing a veteran team like SF. It's hard not to root for them.

Yankees look old and slow today.

Did the Cubs win the world series? I know I would not be so bold since both Chicago teams make the playoffs about once per decade.

This season may just seal Frank's status as first-ballot HOF. Any more seasons like 2003 are just icing on the cake. 500 HR is within his capability too.

I think Maggs needs to work on his swing this offseason and definitely not participate in that Homerun Challenge again. I think that totally messed him up coming out of the gate early 2003. He hardly hit any HR to RF this year and that has been a trademark of classic Maggs. He also needs to realize he is the cleanup hitter. Pitchers are usually not going to groove him first pitch fastballs and he needs to stop swinging at first pitch so much.

If there are riots I'm pretty sure Mayor Daley will open up a serious can.

It's like breaking up with a girlfriend. JM wasn't the worst thing to ever happen to the Sox but it's about time we moved on.

Cooper and Walker have done some work this season. I would prefer to build on that than have to start all over again with new hitting/pitching coaches.

Sox need to hire this guy to coach 3rd base. Can you imagine the PR of such a move?

Baloney, he is not a good manager. He's got a pitcher going for a no-hitter in the Seventh with a 5-0 lead and leaves Everett in left field. I like Everett but he's no golden glove. A ball that Rowand would have caught easily falls in. I also thought about Roberto for Aaron Miles. If you have a chance to accomplish something great you have to go for it and try make it happen, he just waited around hoping. The story of the whole season. Ok I blame JM for alot of things, but I'm not gonna blame him for losing a no-hitter. Maybe if it's the 9th inning, not the 7th inning.

Yeah, he just throws up after he comes out of the game.

If we had won 3 more against Minnesota we would gain six games on Minnesota and not just 3. Three more wins w/ three less losses for us and vice versa for the Twins.

Yup. Sorry but we have come to know JR.

I just don't think we hire LaRussa because he takes Duncan with him and that would mean no more Don Cooper.

Florida Marlins bench coach. That will be two Florida Marlins bench coaches in a row that have gone on to manage the White Sox.

It's finally over. A season of disappointment ends in a little pounding of the Royals. The same team that swept us 162 games ago and put us in a bit of a hole early on. What character will the 2004 White Sox show? Hopefully a little more than these guys. 1) Who will win the series (CHW/KC/Split) (2 points)? CHW 2) Will Esteban Loaiza earn his 21st victory (Y/N) (2 points)? Yes 3) How many errors will the Sox make (4 points)? 2 4) Name a Sox pitcher who will earn a win (4 points)? Jon G., Bartolo, E. Lo 5) How many batters will Thursday's starter face (2 either way) (5 points)? 22 6) How many AB will Frank Thomas have in the series(5 points)? 9 7) Who will lead the Sox in hits for the series (4 points)? Joe Crede 8) Will Maggs finish the season with 30+ HR and 100+ RBI (Y/N) (2 points)? No 9) Who will be in 2nd place in the AL Central (KC/CHW) (2 points)? CHW 10) Will Angel Berroa hit a homerun (Y/N) (2 points)?

The only day I root for the Cubs is today because I'm in a fantasy league championship and my opponent started Kipper.

Agreed. Meaningful games were plentiful this season. Just a disappointing finish hurt by a slow start. I am proud of these guys.

Congratulations Esteban Loaiza on what should be the capper to a Cy Young season.

Now tied with Pedro at 206 strikeouts.

The way C. Lee has been playing this year, he might make that catch.

Postgame show cancelled. Get those strikeouts and get the win E-Lo.

HE GAWN!

I still want Daubach back. Get rid of Slownerko and play Brian at 1B every day against RHP.
